Shipping to Haines

Shipping a vehicle to Haines will take a little more preparation that if you were shipping just across town. Use these tips from A-1 Auto Transport to have your car ready to go when shipping day arrives:

When shipping a vehicle from the continental United States, you need to provide the transporter proof of vehicle ownership. They will usually need to see your original vehicle title and registration as well as your personal photo identification.

Your car shipper will most likely handle the details of moving your car from the shipping port to your new location in Haines but you should be aware that when shipping a vehicle to Alaska there are two main shipping ports and the car will be moved by more than one company during the process.

If you are making a complete relocation you may want to consider hiring an all-in-one moving company that can handle your home furnishings as well as your automobile. This can save you time as well as money in the long-run.

Your car needs to be fully prepared for Alaska car shipping by making sure it is clean inside and out and has no personal content left inside. You will also need to remove items from the outside of the car that may fall off during transport including ground effect lighting, rear spoilers, luggage racks and other loose accessories.

Your gasoline should be lowered to around a quarter tank and with the temperature differences from extremely cold to even hot, the antifreeze should be filled to help prevent the engine from freezing or overheating.
